Students with Exceptional Circumstances

A small number of parking permits may be issued to students who believe their circumstances are such that it is essential that they travel by car and have easy access to their vehicle. The 2015/2016 annual cost of a student prepay permit is £180.00 or you can choose to pay and display at the advertised rate.

Permits are valid from 1st October 2015 until 30th June 2016​.

These permits are available for the Cyncoed campus. For the Llandaff campus, a permit entitles you to park at the Plas Gwyn campus from where you can 'Park & Ride/Walk' to Llandaff.

Due to the limited space available Cardiff Metropolitan University will assess all applications and determine those of greatest need. Applicants should be able to demonstrate their need under one of the following criteria.

Contractors who are present on Site regularly on Cardiff Metropolitan University business may apply to purchase a Pre-Pay Permit at the full annual rate.
